Rome has a huge number of important historical buildings and squares, some of the world's most important cultural and archaeological treasures, and most famous tourist sights.

Rome is not the obvious choice for a family holiday, but rather the perfect destination for cultured urban holidays and romantic weekends. The tourist season runs from March until November, excluding July and August, during which the city can become unpleasantly hot, and December until February, where the city can be chilly and rainy.
